Kobra 245 TS C4 Departmental P4 Cross Cut Shredder, 99.894

Kobra 245 TS C4 P4 Cross Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – Soft-Touch Controls & 40L Bin

Why this P4 shredder is suited to busy small workgroups

The Kobra 245 TS C4 is a professional cross cut shredder designed for personal workspaces, small offices and busy departments of up to five people. Its 24-hour continuous duty motor operates without a timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period, allowing confidential documents to be destroyed whenever required throughout the working day.

Combining P4 cross cut security with intuitive soft-touch controls, carbon-hardened cutting knives and Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive with steel gears, the 245 TS C4 provides dependable performance in a compact professional design.

P4 Cross Cut Protection for Everyday Confidential Data

Security level P4 cross cut shredding – ideal for general commercial, financial, HR, student and patient data, for example.

• Shreds documents into 3.9 × 40mm cross-cut particles
• Shreds up to 16 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Suitable for customer information, personnel records and confidential business paperwork
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal
• Also destroys payment cards, chip cards, films, CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs

Continuous-Duty Performance for Regular Departmental Use

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Suitable for repeated shredding throughout the working day
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide long-term durability
• Cutting knives are unaffected by standard staples and paperclips
• High-precision cutter design supports productive shredding with efficient power consumption

The continuous-duty motor is particularly useful in shared workplaces where confidential documents need to be destroyed promptly rather than accumulated for occasional shredding sessions.

Steel-Gear Chain Drive for Strength & Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 245 TS C4 is its heavy duty chain drive with steel gears. Unlike shredders that use plastic gearing within the drive mechanism, Kobra's Super Potential Power System transfers power to the cutting head through durable metal components.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Offers increased resistance to wear during frequent and demanding use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports the shredder's continuous-duty motor and productive sheet capacity
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in busy workplaces

This robust drive construction is a distinctive Kobra feature and contributes significantly to the machine's toughness, durability and reliability.

Soft-Touch Controls with Clear LED Status Information

The easy-to-use soft-touch control panel provides straightforward access to the shredder's main functions, while LED indicators clearly display its operating status.

• Responsive soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• LED indicators provide clear visual status information
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Automatic stop, reverse and clearing functions help restore normal operation
• Safety stop when the cabinet door is opened
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full

Energy Smart Standby & Automatic Switch-Off

Kobra's Energy Smart management system places the shredder into power-saving standby mode after approximately eight seconds of inactivity.

• Reduces unnecessary power consumption between shredding jobs
• Automatically returns to operation when paper is presented
• Automatically disconnects the machine from the mains after approximately four hours without use
• Supports efficient everyday operation in shared office environments
